After a successful 2011 event, the Sourcing Summit is back. This year, we have an impressive line-up of international and national speakers and will be holding the event in Sydney (14-15 August), Brisbane (22 Aug) and Perth (22 Nov). Expect to be inspired and challenged.

Bringing together sourcing innovators from Australia, New Zealand and USA, the 2012 Sourcing Summit will highlight the important role of sourcing in the region. The Summit will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn from thought leaders, practitioners and organisations who are deeply involved in the local industry and are at the forefront of sourcing excellence.

A wide range of sourcing issues and the latest trends will be addressed by a panel of speakers representing in-house sourcing teams, RPOs, agencies, executive search firms, and companies ranging in size from single entrepreneurs to some of the biggest employer brands in Australia. Whether you are a sourcer, researcher, recruiter or HR professional, there is something for everyone at the summit.
